Nutsack gets pinched

[–] skulblaka 93 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everyone knows you're supposed to wear a gambeson beneath your chainmail. Leather or padded cloth is best.

Ergo, full body gimp suit before bed

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Oh good so I just need the chainmail.

A not quite twenty year old thread where a guy got his nuts pinched in a chair and asked the internet for help

It seems very likely that I don't want to click that, but I appreciate the clarification.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can confirm that’s the source. Don’t worry about clicking it, most of the images are lost to time.

Which is a shame. It was hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Maybe we should have some kind of archive of the internet so this isn't a concern! Oh wait.

Have you ever worn chainmail without an undershirt? Or gambeson? It feels neat at first. Never had to worry about pinching. It didn't grab any hair. The metal will feel cool and smooth all night. But oh Lord, the awful pain it will bring to unprotected virgin nipples. Like surfing for a hundred years without a rash guard all in one hedonistic night concentrated on the area less than two dimes. NEVER AGAIN. A couple bandaids or pasties the next time and all is good.

I think you'll be fine with just a top sheet between you and the chainmail.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So what you're saying is, he needs to add nipple holes!

And unlike most kinds of chain mail, this one is also effective at protecting the user from any thrusting attacks that could lead to penetration.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some of us are into penetration

You got Mail

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 week ago (6 children)

They make loosely braided weighted blankets. They won't be as cool as this, but they allow for plenty of weight while still maintaining good airflow. And a far lower risk of scrotum/labia/nipple tragedy.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Any of those would make a great band name.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait holy shit you're right:

Risk of Scrotum

Risk of Labia

Risk of Nipple

Scrotum Tragedy

Labia Tragedy

Nipple Tragedy

Far Lower Scrotum

Far Lower Labia

Far Lower Nipple (uh?)

Lower Scrotum Tragedy

Lower Labia Tragedy

Lower Nipple Tragedy (ok, idk who had a lower Nipple but it's weird that it's in the list twice)

Lower Risk Scrotum

Lower Risk Labia

Lower Risk Nipple

Shit, this might be the biggest combo of band names in a single sentence I've ever seen

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Far Lower Nipple (uh?)

That's the clitoris I think

I'd be more interested in this for the weight. I want more weighted blanket than I can usually find, and I'm guessing this is heavier than that.

What’s worse is this looks like butted mail instead of riveted mail, so it’ll have lots and lots of little snaggy pokey bits.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't tell from the potato quality of the pic, but that's likely. Additionally, for contact with anything that hasn't got a layer of leather between it and me, I would really prefer to have welded rings. Riveted ones are also quite the chafe.

It appears that whatever pattern this is isn't a typical 1-in-4 or 1-in-6, so I have no idea how it's actually constructed.

Yeah my pubes would get stuck in there too lol ouch

Buy a razor.... There is no way your pubes are better than that chain mesh.

Fuck, now I want to get into making chainmail. Time to pick up another hobby I guess.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Careful, from what I hear its an incredibly time consuming one

That's an understatement.

If anyone does want to get into it, don't do steel. Steel is cheap as shit, but you'll get carpal tunnel before you finish your first bag, belt or tie.

Idk if you can get like 16 gauge aluminum wire, but that would be far easier to work with. Or brass. just don't do steel

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Oh fuck I was just thinking about how to solve my need for a heavy blanket while not constantly overheating and waking up.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Is this how those people ended up with random piercings/earrings all over their body? Like Xerxes in 300.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

Seems like you would want to use stainless steel instead of aluminum if you're going for weight.

Edit: Yes I realize there are better conductors of heat but for the sake of using corrosion resistant welding materials I went with stainless.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Stainless is an insulator of heat. In fact, it's used in 3D printers to avoid heat traveling up the path where the filament is fed in from.

Copper with a silver or rhodium plating would be a good choice otherwise. Copper has a higher thermal conductivity than aluminum, and silver does as well, but is also hypoallergenic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wouldn't call it an insulator but it is a poor conductor of heat compared to aluminum. I think in this situation either one would be capable of dissipating heat better than just about any blanket.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

You would be wrong in not calling it an insulator. Sorry.

https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/thermal-conductivity-metals-d_858.html

Feel free to look at the chart linked above and compare to almost any other common metal.

Air has a thermal conductivity of 0.028 W/(mK)
Copper, around 413 W/(m
K)
Stainless is 14 W/(m*K)

In so far as metals go, stainless is a heat insulator.
